Vanessa's C64/8-bit texture packs

These texture packs are intended to create an atmosphere that reminds the player of what things were like in the 8-bit world. As the title suggests, these were drawn to emulate the way the game might look on a Commodore 64, using what is known as Pepto's palette (but with much higher saturation and a bit higher brightness, to better represent what a C64 monitor might show). The nostalgic look has its limits, owing to the much higher resolution that Minetest runs at, but I think this works well.

This pack supports the standard/distribution stuff found in v0.4, 2012-04-08 and up, all of that which is/was present in v0.3 (though some filenames may be different), and a bunch mods! It should also work with other branches/forks of Minetest, as long as the texture filenames haven't been changed.

Screenshots

Both of these are larger than they appear here, and show the 64 pixel version of the texture pack. Firefox users can right click, "View Image" to see them at full size. Internet explorer users? Get Firefox. ;-)

If you want the world file that was used to generate the first screenshot, go here:

sfan: that's an artifact of the color constraints in place - the C64 doesn't have a color that's midway between brown and black, and it didn't seem to look right when I first tried to base the dirt on brown. I may revise it later, though. This texture pack is far from complete :-)

This is not the topic for the Realtest game nor for my server based on it. Please post in the appropriate topic in the future. No, there's no specific texture pack for Realtest, each of the mods that come as a part of it supplies its own custom textures.
